I occasionally get deep tissue work and the massage therapist sent me to a rolfer.Guy was really good and worked on me for about 90 mins.This dude earned his money as he was sweating bullets.The problem is that $120 a sessions gets tough to do regularly as I have too many kids in competitive gymnastics and that doesn't leave much money for me to spend on myself lol.

I have gone a few times and it was effective. Would love to do the 10 sessions thing...I foam roll,roll on pvc pipe,hot tub /cold dip therapy,stretch and use inversion therapy in addition to chiro to keep me in one piece.

What's really amazing is how many BJJ guys I've talked to that have bulging discs. Either that, or herniated ones.

It's really shocking. I talked to Marcos DaMatta and he has 3 bulging or herniated ones, and Ricardo Liborio who REALLY freaked me out when he said he has 7 of them. He still rolls, but he's apparently in constant pain because of it.

I have 3 bulging and my facet joints are nearly gone. How long before you saw improvement with the Rolfing?

2 weeks in I started feeling much looser and better. I still haven't started rolling again, it's been months. I'm going in for DRX9000 spinal decompression next week. It's supposed to be very effective. Lots of grapplers swear by it. I'm taking this thing very seriously, and if I can't heal my back up it might be the end of Jiu Jitsu for me.

Damn, that'd be horrible if you'd had to end your Jits. Hope you get well.

Good call on the spinal decompression. I had that done for 2 bulging discs pushing into my sciatic nerve. It will take a week or so to feel the decompression helping but after 3 weeks I felt a million times better

philipee32 - A Ha joe rogan is into rolfing too. That stuff is old already 70's. A good massage therapist aka me, will rape a rolfer any day of the week. Rolfing is like cross between massage therapy and chiropractic theroy except rolfing believes the whole body is stacked nd needs to aligned instead of just the spine and its really deep massage therapy. I think alota rolfers just get lucky and happen to realease the muscle cuz they hit everything, a lot of their work is based on stuff that isn't even possible, like manipulating the spine.

My experience of Rolfing and your explanation are 2 different things.

And no, no massage therapist has ever done to/for me what a trained Rolfer has done. I have had hundreds of massages.

My experience of Rolfing was focused more on Myofacial Release, less on "stacking"
